From the Paper:

"The Los Angeles Times proclaimed that the recent Teamsters strike "has served as a reminder how much the union's influence has waned" . The failed outcome of the strike, reiterated the newspaper, confirms that labor unionism in North America is growing increasingly irrelevant in economics and in politics--a point further driven home by the inability of labor to prevent congressional enactment of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

This research examines the role of labor unions in both the United States and Canada. The history of the union movement will be charted, and the impact of labor unions on the standard of living will be assessed. Future prospects for the rise of unionism and its ability to enhance the quality of life in North America will also be discussed."
